Bottle: &nbsp Copper hued amber, clear, moderate frothy white head, nice lacing. &nbsp Spicy nose, seems like nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. &nbsp Reminds me more of a Autumn/Pumpkin like offering. &nbsp On the tongue it has the same spices, very pumpkin like, with a bit of mealiness to bring up the rear. &nbsp Its like a heavy spiced Pumpkin beer followed by an American Tripel of sorts. &nbsp Body and mouthfeel are moderate, yet it does have a little heftiness on the tongue. &nbsp Backside shows a little bit of alcohol, but its not hot. &nbsp Decent offering. &nbsp Still conflicted with the image on the label with the spicing in the bottle. &nbsp I would say Imperial Pumpkin meets American Tripel for sure. &nbsp Interesting and fairly tasty. &nbsp Thanks Dallas for the bottle!

Poured a clear golden amber color with a nose is mostly of nutmeg and cloves and a touch of maltiness beneath. The taste started big and malty then the spices kick in. Nutmeg and Clove were very pronounced then transitions into a Cinnamon spiciness. The finish was bright and piney.

500 mL bottle purchased at brewery - pours an absolutely crystal clear yellow/gold color with medium sized pure white head. Aroma has light caramel as well as notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of cloves and orange peel. Flavor has a light malt backbone, with notes of honey and candied ginger. Finish is just to the sweet side of balanced. This is overall just decent - although I don’t get quite as a slap in the face from the spices as some other seem to have.

Sampled at the SLC Holiday Tasting. Clear deep copper pour with a small foamy head. Aroma of caramel malt, ripe fruit, spice and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is slightly sweet and fruity with a hint of holiday spice and a decent warming alcohol kick. Nice.

Cool squat Red Rock half liter bottle courtesy of douglas88. It pours clear brilliant copper with off white head. The aroma is full of varied spices, caramel malts, prunes, peaches, red apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and more spices. Smells spicy heavy. The taste is full of flavor with various winter spices noted in the nose along with some slick sweet malts and mild sweet caramel notes in the background. All these spices don’t seem to want to come together as it seems a bit jumbled to my palate.

Bottle @ Utah Holiday Tasting: Pours a dark mahogany color with a nice creamy head. The nose is hot with alcohol and lots of spice. Some licorice and clove notes along with a light malt, caramel and medicinal note pair along with the alcohol. The flavor is big and strong, lots going on here but I don’t think it’s balanced.
